There is a type of silicone caulking compound which is specifically designed to be used with concrete; this will work to attach insulation (but only if the concrete is DRY).
NOOO. It need s to be dry before the wall board goes up. There is a cellulouse insulation that sprays on with a glue but even that has to dry for a day. Wet insulation will cause mold on the wall board.
Rigid insulation by DOW makes many different types of insulation, most have a foil side which should be glued to the concrete while the colored side with logos on it will face out ready for walls to be framed and sheetrock to be hung.
You should put a plastic moisture barrier between the concrete and the studs so that moisture will not get to the insulation.
Basicly you have to scrape it off. Then you skim coat the wall with joint compound.
You can if it's smooth and really sticking to the wall well enough. In this case, I would use a mastic style glue by Mapei.
There really isn't a good glue for that, PL 200 or PL300 will work, but any adhesive makes it almost impossible to ever remove a mirror cleanly without messing up the wall. - MUCH better to use screw in 'mirror clips' available in any hardware store.
is vermiculite suitable for cavity wall insulation

Some concrete structural insulated panels are sandwich panels. These have layers (also called wythes) of: * structural concrete (designed to bear the loads once the panel is installed) * insulation (usually foam such as polystyrene, extruded or expanded) and may also have layers of: * non structural concrete (on the other side of the insulation from the structural concrete) * wall lining materials * waterproofing The wythes of concrete are structurally attached to each other with jointers through the insulation wythe, that are made from strong materials with a low thermal conductivity (such as fibreglass) to reduce the thermal bridging of the insulation. The panels are made by pouring concrete on beds at concrete precasters or on a suitable area such as a floor slab on site, and are built up in these layers. There are several proprietary brands of jointers and various panel design options.

If you mean mounting drywall to a concrete or brick wall, it's necessary to fix 1x4 to the wall either with screws or gluing with construction adhesive. You fix these 2 feet apart, upright across the wall, then screw the drywall to the 1x4 s. (nailing will make them loose.)
